Feb 09 2010NursingI'm a transfer student. I went to see a transfer counselor (Pauline Mortenson) who made my transition from a community college to AIC rather easy. I was able to get scholarships for my GPA, joint admissions,Alumni scholarship, as well as an endowed award and an AIC grant. That made tuition a lot less for me, but I would of liked to have been informed about the ACE Program assistance to help find grants/scholarships for students that are 1st in their family to go to college...). I recommend that students make sure their grades are good (because this will help with tuition costs!!), make sure that you have a couple letters of recommendation from possibly a professor, and make sure that you write legibly on your application!! Penmenship is a must when filling out an application! Other than that, make an appointment to visit the school to get a feel for it; the pictures on our website really do not do any justice- when you come for a visit, you can speak with a counselor and get a tour from a STUDENT- who better to get info from than a student?Female

Jan 04 2006Psychologymake lots of contact with the admissions office, so your name becomes familiar. I did not have a phenomenal GPA (4.3), or take ANY honors or AP classes, but had lots of extra curriculars, and wrote thank you notes, etc. to the admissions office for helping me out when I visited. Also, make sure you take an interview.ACT: 25 SAT: 1200 Female
